SUMMARY:PECO Presents…The New Black: Screening and Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Yoruba Richen’s award-winning documentary explores the s
 tory of how the African-American community is grappling with gay right
 s in light of the recent gay marriage movement and the fight over civi
 l rights. Focusing on Maryland in the lead-up to a public referendum o
 n the topic in 2012, the film documents activists, families and clergy
  on both sides of the campaign to legalize gay marriage and explores q
 uestions of acceptance and condemnation in black families and churches
 .\n \nIn the wake of the Supreme Court’s historic decision to legal
 ize gay marriage across the nation, join us as we screen this riveting
  documentary and engage a panel of diverse individuals in post-screeni
 ng discussion. How are family and community conceptualized for members
  of Philadelphia’s LGBTQ communities of color? How meaningful is the
  Supreme Court’s ruling, at the intersections of race, class and sex
 ual identity? And what is, can, and should be the role of black commun
 ities in pushing for civil and equal rights for all people?\n \nThis 
 program is made possible by the generous support of PECO and is presen
 ted in partnership with The COLOURS Organization, Inc in support of th
 e exhibition Legendary: Inside the House Ballroom Scene.\n \nFree Ad
